He takes the senate deal, or he takes the credit for a tax hike on the middle class.

There is no way Boehner can raise enough votes to approve the Senate deal without Nancy. I doubt he could get 150 votes otherwise.

Each day it doesn’t pass you include the next tax bracket on tax increases and cuts to the previous GWB’s budget. Up the pain on the Dems daily. They can take it or go over the cliff.

Ummm…last I heard, Nancy Pelosi was the MINORITY Leader. Barring some massive folds by Republicans (which is entirely possible), I don’t think the House needs her or her caucus to approve of the deal.

This would be true if there was a majority LEADER.

The $800 billon stimulus is now baked into every budget so why can’t we demand $800 billion in cuts as a starting point? I never hear the GOP bring thus up?

I remember Obama bringing it up in 08..another of his lies was that he wouldn’t agree to any new spending without an equal amount being cut somewhere else.
He is never held to live up to his own bullshlt…and no one does much beyond throwing roses at his feet and blink their eyes.

I haven’t heard anything more about “First we create a million manufacturing jobs, good-paying jobs, here in America, so we can rebuild the middle class from the middle out . Have you?

And if I hear another Democrat say that the “rich need to pay their fair share” when everyone knows half the country pays ZERO income taxes I’m going to punch out the next Lib I run across.

.
Exactly! Republicans will find some way to screw this up so that Democrats get everything they want and the the media will then blame the Republican Axis of Evil (Boehner, Cantor and McConnell) for higher taxes, engendering more hate for the Republican Party. McCain will want to reach across the aisle to make sure Kerry gets State to make up for higher taxes on rich folks who already use every tax dodge in the books to pay less and less on “money” older than a year.
.
Since Republicans and the media put Ø back in office, I’m thinking of becoming a registered Democrat. I can get more done fouling up their local party operations than I ever could as an outsider plus, what I’ve seen of Democrats and liberals, they are all stupid anyway. It’s easy to keep them in line by threats and intimidation (No free stuff for you!)
.
I sure don’t trust the Republicans to fight back unfairly so they win on important issues and elections.
